SHOP FOR A CAUSE:
Tomorrow, December 1st is World Aids Day and MAC Cosmetics will donate DOUBLE the sales of VIVA GLAM products to the MAC Aids Fund. 100% of the sales price of VIVA GLAM products bought on maccosmetics.com go directly to the Fund, which has raised more than $270 million dollars to help those living with HIV/AIDS.
